We taking ourselves out to the ballgame with 1994's Angels in the Outfield. We discuss the 1051 film this was sort-of based om, the baseball strike that happened the same year, and some other films that came out around the same time. Is this movie the answer to our prayers?

2023's Wish was the culmination of Disney's 100 Years of Magic. Did it succeed in celebrating all that came before? Or did it crumble trying to cram a century of storytelling into one film?

Tell everybody we're on our way with 2003's Brother Bear. Can the music of Phil Collins strike a second time? Does this movie handle bears better than Brave did?

Happy New Year! We kick off 2025 with some old school Disney, 1961's The Absent-Minded Professor. A rare black-and-white Disney movie. Will the power of Flubber raise this film to great hights?

The hills are alive with 1965's The Sound of Music. One year after Julie Andrews was practically perfect as Mary Poppins, she does it again to tell the story of the Von Trapp Family Singers.

Merry Christmas! We're dashing through the stores trying to find a Turbo Man toy with 1996's Jingle All The Way. Does this still hold up as a satire of the over-commercialization of Christmas? And what do an unmade Planet of the Apes movie and a plagiarism lawsuit have to do with this?

There are many Christmas-themed romantic comedies, it's time we discussed one. 1995's While You Were Sleeping features Sandra Bullock at the height of her "girl next door" era. Does this succeed where so many other holiday romcoms fail, or will this leave us in coma?

We take a look at the writing and directing debut of Tom Hanks, 1996's That Thing You Do! Is this story of one-hit Wonders as lasting as the catchy song that came from it?

Before everyone tries "Defying Gravity" at movie theaters, we take a look back at Disney's attempt at a prequel to The Wizard of Oz. 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful tells the story of how the Wizard came to Oz. Was this film as "Popular" as it's "Wicked" counterpart? Or is this simply "Something Bad"?

Spooky Season continues. We return to the world of Disney Channel Original Movies by taking a trip to Halloweentown.
